Homeowners have been advised to take careful measurements before installing new skirting boards in a room.
Experts at the UK Flooring Direct blog explained that correctly measuring the size of the board that is required is important before a purchase is made.
Consumers were also urged to make sure the colours chosen match both the furniture and the room itself, while tips were offered as to the best material.
Wood was highlighted as the most popular option, with oak and beech said to match hardwood flooring as well as laminate.
Plastic represents an alternative to the traditional choice, as it is flexible and comes in a range of colours, but the experts noted that it is susceptible to cracking.
Last week, HeraldNet highlighted the benefits of investing in new kitchen flooring, suggesting that it can boost both the quality of life of those in the home and the chances of selling it on.
